shifted_ptr review results

The formal review period for Philippe A. Bouchard's shifted_ptr library
has ended. At this time, the shifted_ptr library will not be accepted into
Boost.

The submission was rejected primarily on the grounds that its
documentation was incomplete. Reviewers have requested complete semantic
descriptions of shifted_ptr's operations, in addition to more rationale
and introductory material.

Reviewers also expressed concern with the potentially unsafe construction
of shifted_ptr objects from a raw pointer; several solutions have been
proposed.

There is considerable interest in this library, and we hope that Philippe
will address reviewers' concerns and bring this library forward for a
second review in the future.

enable_if review


The review of enable_if submitted Jaakko Järvi & Jeremiah Willcock &
Andrew Lumsdaine starts today and runs through Sunday, October 12.

 From the introduction:

"The enable_if family of templates is a set of tools to allow a function
template or a class template specialization to include or exclude itself
from a set of matching functions or specializations based on properties
of its template arguments. For example, one can define function
templates that are only enabled for, and thus only match, an arbitrary
set of types defined by a traits class"

This is going to be a fatstrack review. Fasttrack reviews have been
introduced as a lightweight process in order to ease the acceptance of
small utilities. I've put a more detailed description at the end of this
message.

When reviewing the library, please remember to include:

     * What is your evaluation of the design?
     * What is your evaluation of the implementation?
     * What is your evaluation of the documentation?
     * Does the utility fit your needs as a library author/user

And finally, every review should answer this question:

     * Do you think the library should be accepted as a Boost library?

The implementation can be found in the boost-sandbox the respective

string algorithms review

The review of Pavol Droba's string algorithms library starts today and runs
until the 30th of October.

>From the introduction:

"The String Algorithm Library provides a generic implementation of
string-related algorithms which are missing in STL. It is an extension to
the algorithms library of STL and it includes trimming, case conversion,
predicates and find/replace functions. All of them come in different
variants so it is easier to choose the best fit for a particular need.
The implementation is not restricted to work with a particular container
(like a std::basic_string), rather it is as generic as possible. This
generalization is not compromising the performance since algorithms are
using container specific features when it means a performance gain."

When reviewing the library, please remember to go through this list:

http://www.boost.org/more/formal_review_process.htm#Comments

A part of the library interacts with the regular expressions
(http://www.boost.org/libs/regex/index.htm) and requires one
to build that first.

The library has so far been tested with these compilers:

a.. Microsoft Visual C++ 7.0
a.. Microsoft Visual C++ 7.1
a.. GCC 3.2
a.. GCC 3.3.1
